 of the .Western Carolina Lumber & Timber .Association, which met at 

 Asheville, X. C, on the evening of July 3, is not unnaturally crodited to

 more boy, who spent his youth and first business years in the Monumental 

 City, and is the representative of a Baltimore hardwood firm. liichard 

 1". Baer & Co. Mr. Warner was sent to Asheville about four years 

 ago to be at one of the chief sources of supply for hardwoods for his 

 firm and attained such success in his mission that he has been stationed 

 llicri' "ver since. He has made himself very popular in his new environ- 

 ment aud now has become thoroughly identified with the Western Caro- 

 lina trade. Last week be was on a visit to Baltimore, conferring^ with 

 members of his firm about various business matters. 



David T. Carter of the hardwood firm of David T. Carter & Co.. has 

 been receiving condolences on the death of his father, the late John M. 

 Carter, a leading attorney, promoter of art aud architecture and had 

 in many ways contributed largely to the progress of the city. 



Among recent visitors in Baltimore was Senor F. C. Pogliano of Buenos 

 .\ires, Argentina, who has been in the United States for several months, 

 engaged in making connections with shippers ot lumber to South -\merica. 

 Senor Pogliano, while in Baltimore, called on Secretary J. McD. Price 

 of the National Lumber Exporters" Association and obtained from him 

 much information expected to prove helpful to bim in his business. IIi- 

 stated that he had succeeded in making the connections desired and 

 intended to sail shortly from New York for home. 



Another recent Baltimore visitor was W. O. Harter of Cobbett & Co., 

 of London. Mr. Harter had been making a trip to certain portions of the 

 United States, presumably in search of stocks called for especially l>y war 

 requirements, and was about on his last lap, it being his intention to 

 take the steamer on the following Friday from New York for home. Mr. 

 Harter, though located in England for a number of years, is really an 

 American, who was engaged in the hardwood business on his own 

 account in "the States,' but eventually became connected with Cobbett 

 & Co., as their American representative, and later removed to England. 

 It is reported from Kingwood, W. Va., that Edwin S. Brown of Reeds- 

 ville, that state, a lumber operator, who left his home for Morgantown, 



R. W. Horton of the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company reports a fairly 

 active trade in hardwoods during the past fortnight. He says the 

 feature is the buying on the part of retailers. Building operations are 

 still fairly active and dealers are compelled to replenish their stocks. 

 Prices are fairly steady at the levels which have prevailed for some 

 time. .Some cutting is reported where stocks have accumulated, hut 

 this is not suflicient to demoralize the market. 



George F. Kirkwood, Jr., has been appointed receiver for the G. Keyer 

 Company of Cincinnati, woodwork manufacturers located on Central 

 avenue. The appointment was made upon the application of the United 

 States Glue Company. 



William H. Eisenhour, trustee in bankruptcy of the Fremont Lumber 

 Company of Fremont, O., was discharged by a jury on the charge of 

 making false entries as trustee. The testimony showed that the dis- 

 crepancies in the accounts were the fault of clerks in his office. Judge 

 Clark held that carelessness is not a crime in that instance. 



Secretary Phelps of the Dayton Builders' Exchange and the campaign 

 manager of the Ohio Lumber Dealers' .\ssociation left Dayton recently 

 for Cleveland and northern Ohio to start the campaign "Build with 

 Wood." The trip will be made in automobiles in some sections and 

 other trips will follow later. The campaign is directed at the luml)er
